The Miyabi Kaizen collection combines advanced ice-hardening techniques with the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The knives are carefully crafted with a vg10 “super steel” core that is surrounded by a graceful Damascus pattern that exposes the meticulously forged 65-layer steel construction.

Blades go through a CRYODUR four-step ice-hardening process for superior strength, flexibility and corrosion resistance. The edges are then hand-finished by master craftsmen using a traditional three-step honbazuke blade-honing technique for a lasting edge. The resulting blades are optimally sharpened to precise angles for outstanding edge retention.

I went up to Sur La Table knowing I was going to leave with a new toy. I don't ever know exactly what it will be each time, but I decided I needed a slicer in my set of knives I am building up slowly. I have the 10"" Fusion chef knife and I absolutely love it, the weight and handle. I did not like the slicer in that line though, the way I would hold the handle, and the tip of the blade were not as comfortable looking as the kaizen. There is almost no weight to this blade, but when I put it to my pork roast the other night it felt so great using such little force to slice! This is really going to be an excellent slicer for work, working with lox to slicing steak dinners
